Voted 3/5 | could use some improvement. The title says Rock&Ice, but lately it should have been changed to Rock...too much bouldering for my liking. Isn't there already a bouldering magazine? They do put out a few good issues here and there, like their issue last year featuring the many failed attempts on Latok I. I'm more into the alpine climbing game and that's what I like to read. If only Alpinist came out monthly! So, there are some good articles in R&I every now and then, but not enough to get me to subscribe. If you're a rock climber or boulderer, then this is a great mag. I do like the larger format pictures and page sizes though. Quite a bit of advertising as well. Maybe more so than Climbing...but maybe not. I've yet to read an ice articles in this mag except for small one or two paragraph blurbs every now and then. | | Posted Jan 24, 2008 11:33 am |

Voted 5/5 | For monthly climbing rags, R&I is my favorite. I like the fact that they always have an alpine article and stuff in there for moderate climbers like me. I'm tired of other mags that have nothing but stuff about 5.15 climbers and routes, stuff that the average climber cannot do. R&I isn't like that at all. It writes for the average, every day climber which most of us can relate to. The gear reviews are genuine because they do not hesitate to tell it like it is. Highly recommended. | | Posted Jan 24, 2008 4:41 pm |

Voted 2/5 | I like this magazine, and always look forward to getting my copy in the mail.
I'd say it should be called "Rock, and Rock Again, and more friggin' rock, and some cursing guy named Andrew Bisharat who calls everyone a gumby...". Then again, Alpinist has articles on slacklining, and some bouldering stuff which has rather zero to do with alpinism. I wonder if Andrew is reading this right now?
Great photography. Good reviews and everything. | | Posted May 19, 2008 8:02 am |
